Hi,
I have created with MDT and UDI designer a TS even to be able to select different Windows OS to install as following
a example here Windows 11 and Windows 10
and I have the condition for Drivers for Windows 11 and Windows 10
It means if I select Windows 10 for install, it will install the Drivers for Windows 10 and if I select windows 11 , it will install the drivers for Windows 10 for Notebook "DELL" because my both drivers package are for Notebook "DELL"
it works fine here for Notebook "DELL"
We have from "LENOVO" Notebooks too and I have created two driver package for windows 10 and windows 11 for "LENOVO" too
Is there any way to create a condition for driver package for "LENOVO" Notebooks ?
the following situations for me
If I take Notebook "DELL" and select Win10 or Win 11 to install OS for Notebook "DELL", it should take drivers package for Notebook "DELL"
If I take Notebook "LENOVO" and select Win10 or Win 11 to install for Notebook "LENOVO", it should take drivers package for Notebook "LENOVO"
How can I do that?
Regards
With WMIC, you can query device locally and check the values for Manufacturer and for Model. Then you can use same values in Task Sequence. Lenovo has tricky model name policy, it is more cryptic than Dell or HP.
wmic computersystem get manufacturer
wmic computersystem get model
and then in TS step, something like this. That is just an example, but you can query the same WMI in TS :)
My WMI
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%LIFEBOOK%"
and
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%HP%"
What is please with
Task Sequence Varaibale Make equals "..."?
Lifebook will be enough, don't include HP there because it could also be Hewlett Packard.
What is please?
It would be wmic query manufacturer equals %Lenovo% ..your query above will not work.
Hi,
again I have now following settings added to my TS "Apply Drivers windows 11x64"
As I mention I have Lifebook Notebooks too.
I have to create again a new "Apply Drivers windows 11x64" for Lifebook and add the driver Package of Lifebook Notebook and set the condition like ""Hewlett Packard" , but that time for "%LIFEBOOK%". AM I right?
No, I believe that is not correct.
Model could be %Elitebook%
Manufacturer could be HP% or %Hewlett Packagard%.
I have done similar thing 5-10 years ago with UDI on CM 2012 server and being used that until 2020 I quit CM.
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%Hewlett Packard%"
it is not correct
that is correct
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%HP%"
Now we have the Model and Manufacture
Tell me please how could see my TS now?
is that now correct so?
It is indeed a little bit hard to get inside your configuration by just viewing posts and screens, but I recommend you to use these commands on command promt on the hardware models, to identify the proper values, I guess it is similar to the WMI GUI you are using (I never used it, only commands):
wmic computersystem get manufacturer
wmic computersystem get model
You can also create a task sequence to deploy on a desktop, just simply to test different steps with queries, and look into logs, which were activeted and which were not, without spending any time to drop image all over again.
It is the same like above with Wbemtest command
Yep, and I would use %Elitebook 860% in query.
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%Elitebook 860%"
and
Task Sequence Variable Make equals "Elitebook 860"
so???
Why you are entring that second query? Does not make any sence.
you mean I need only the both line here and it is enough
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%Elitebook 860%"
Operating System equal All Windows 10 (x64)
Yes, so for drivers this should be enough:
OSDImageName equals Windows11Enterprise21H2x64English
And
WMI Query for model '%Elitebook 860%'
I did review our entire discurssion, and I am sorry I must confuse you with that picture I just pulled out from internet showing you example, that's why you added that Make variable which is not needed in your case :)
No problem, thank you for help
last question
As I mention above we have HP Notebook and Fujitsu Notebook and windows 10 and Windows 11.
Should I create for the HP and Fujitsu separate Apply Network drivers entry in TS or can I put for both HP and Fujitsu one entry
That is my entry for package drivers in TS
for Windows 10 as following
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%Elitebook 860%"
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%LIFEBOOK%"
Operating System equal All Windows 10 (x64)
and for for Windows 11 as following
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%Elitebook 860%"
Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like "%LIFEBOOK%"
Operating System equal All Windows 11 (x64)
Well, theoretically speaking, Fujitsu and HP might have different network drivers so I would avoid any other problems by splitting them based on a model or manufacturer. But it also comes down how and where from you collected drivers.
Typically, I hadn't split Network drivers into saparate packages, everything is collected into one driver package which is strictly model based.
Sorry, not understand with
Typically, I hadn't split Network drivers into saparate packages, everything is collected into one driver package which is strictly model based.
I have created too Package driver for HP and Fujitsu for both Windows 10 and 11
It should be enough if create in TS one package driver and put ht condition for HP and Fujitsu for Windows 10 and one for Windows 11.
I mean, network + video + chipst + bluetooth, all are gathered to single driver package for HP Elitebook model XXX.
There has been many different ways to do OSD ;)
Either you understand my question wrong or I cannot describe my question,
I have created a complete drivers Package for all devices of HP and Fujitsu. It mean I have now two driver Package.
I run my TS and want to install my Windows xx on my HP Notebook, it should take the HP driver Package
I run my TS and want to install my Windows xx on my Fujitsu Notebook, it should take the Fujitsu driver Package
That is all what I want
The correct way would be to create a single driver package for a single model. If you have 20 different models, you would have 20 different driver packages. But, there are indeed multiple ways how admins have done this.
I am not really happy about single Package
